( Ravan’s POV )

Max had established that he was not to be messed with, however, his 3 giants had also been killed in combat against the two tier5 warriors.

Although they were able to stall the two for a valuable 5 minutes of mayhem, causing both of them to lose about 15% of their total HP, they could not hold out for any longer.

This meant that now he had expended all 3 of his number increasing skills in the form of Netherbeasts Summoning, Giant Summoning and Perfect Clone, which left him to face these three powerhouses alone.

On the bright side, Sebastian and Asiva were current wreaking havoc on the battlefield with their dragon’s, causing the enemy side to suffer major losses.

On the worse side, He did not even have Zippo to protect him for a while if things went wrong since he had sent him to help the clone in his fight against the god.

Hence, he needed to be careful to not die in this short duration until Zippo’s return, while parrying the 3 tier5 opponents at once.

With his display of strength in neutralising Farid’s attack, none of the 3 opponents took him lightly anymore, being wary of his every movement and treating him with utmost sincerity.

” Together at 3 ” One of the three tier5 opponents said as the three of them mentally calculated to 3 before charging at Max from 3 different directions.

Calmly observing the situation, Max created a [ Flame Wall ] to stall the first opponent, while using [ Flame Shield ] to block the second one’s attack to his abdomen as he personally parried Farid’s aim to chop off his neck.

-45,000

Max was sent flying backwards by his opponent’s kick to his sternum as he felt one of his ribs crack under the force of the strike.

The opponent’s foot caught on fire as an effect of the flame armour, dealing some burn damage on him, but his situation was much better than Max’s.

‘ Martial Arts master ‘ Drax murmured in his mind, as he warned Max to be careful against that particular swordsman who was also adept in physical combat.

Not giving him any quarter, the trio rushed at Max once again, pelting him under a barrage of consistent attacks as Max felt like he was back inside dragon’s paradise training with Kremeth as he dodged as much as possible using [ Way Of The Wind ]

Although he was able to avoid critical injuries, Max was scratched and bruised consistently as it was clear that he was on the losing end of this battle.

‘ Not good ‘ Max thought as he used [ Energy Blast ] to send one opponent staggering backwards, while he used [ Dragon’s Breath ] to force Farid to evade.

Backflipping, he created distance from the third opponent, as once he was confident of the space between them he turned and began to run at a fast speed.

‘ Fuck I could have used the Wind God’s shoes at this moment ‘ Max thought as he wistfuly thought that he might be able to flee into the sky had he chosen wind god’s boot as his item before.

The trio was hot on his pursuit, as they did not intend to let Max gather his thoughts.

What they did not understand however was that by pursuing Max, they were falling straight for his trap.

[ Brainwash ]

[ Brainwash ]

[ Brainwash ]

[ Brainwash ]

[ Brainwash ]

[ Brainwash ]

Regardless of the tier of the Kingsman soldier that he passed by, Max quickly used brainwash to trigger the probability of controlling them, and while he failed a few times he was successful in controlling 7/10 men he touched.

Suddenly, the three pursuers found that their pursuit had turned incomparably difficult as their own soldiers attacked them out of the blue.

-70,000 critical hit!

One of the soldiers even managed to catch Farid completely off-guard, plunging his spear into his own commander’s abdomen, as Farid killed him mercilessly.

” How merciless, he’s turning our own men against us ” Farid spoke as he took out the plunged spear from his abdomen and drank a HP potion.

Due to Max’s ingenious interference, the pursuit of his opponents was significantly slowed down, until they found Max standing calmly in a particularly desolate plaza.

Max had pulled his opponents away from all the way in district 11 where the major fight was ongoing to district 13 where the fight was more or less already over.

Dead bodies were everywhere as a strong scent of blood was strewn across the plaza where a bloody battle had taken place half an hour ago.

Farid watched in shock, as the bruises on Max’s skin healed automatically, as he was sure his eyes were playing tricks on him since the enemy had not drunk any health potions at all.

Max’s passive healing ability had triggered itself, since he was standing on a large pool of blood, as he had purposefully lured his enemies to this plaza as this was the one place where he could express his strength to the fullest extent.

” Why did you suddenly stop running? ” One of the three tier5 warrior’s asked as he could see the visible change in the opponent’s body language.

The man feared that Max had rigged the area with some explosives of sorts, and that they were walking straight into some sort of a trap.

Max did not reply to their question, instead only patiently waited for them to walk closer to a nearby pool of blood.

” I’ll go ahead, cover me if there are any anomalies” A tier5 warrior said as Farid nodded and immediately became on guard.

The tier5 warrior slowly walked towards Max, putting every step very carefully on the ground below.

” AGHHHHHHH “

-120,000

Suddenly he heard a scream from his partner behind him, as he turned to see in horror that the man had lost his left leg, it was amputated by some undetectable attack as blood was rapidly spraying everywhere from his wound.

” AGHHHHH “

The man fell to his knee as he had similarly gotten his right leg chopped off by what feeled like an energy blade.

The only person to catch a glimpse of what happened was Farid, as he could not put what he saw to words.

The pool of blood beside them had suddenly given birth to a blood blade that shot out with immense speed and took off his partner’s legs.

There was absolutely no time to detect or react to the attack because of the sheer close proximity from where it was generated and the speed at which it dissipated.

Instinctively running away from the pool of blood, Farid opened and closed his mouth several times before asking Max the same question for the third time, this time in absolute horror and terror ” J-Just what a-r-r-e you? “

( Meanwhile Benedict )

Benedict had finally managed to shake off his Kingsman pursuers and reach the area near the battlefield.

From some soldiers he had received notice that commanded Max was in sector 11 and battling a strong opponent, as he started his livestream to residents of Earth on planet Radiance, looking to interfere with Max’s death at the critical moment.

His stream was titled ‘ Killing Max Rajput ‘ and had 22,000 people watching live with the number of viewers increasing rapidly every minute.
